Package Exports

pptx2pdf

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (pptx2pdf) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Inspiration

I needed convert PowerPoint into pdf or pdf. I found the following projects:

node-ppt2pdf (not on npm)
ppt2png (npm)

Both require unoconv and LibreOffice (or OpenOffice) however it didn't work with the latest version of Libreoffice. I assume it was because of a older version of unoconv/libreoffice. However, the latest version of libreoffice can convert to pdf on the command-line, please see below.

libreoffice --headless \
--invisible \
--convert-to pdf \
--outdir <outputDir> \
inputPath
